News, observations and reader questions about the Sacramento Kings and the NBA.

February 1, 2012

Thomas has 24 points in his last two games. All of his points have come in the fourth quarter and nearly led to wins for the Kings.

Thomas ran the offense in the Kings win at Toronto on Jan. 11 and played a big role in the Kings' comeback against Indiana on Jan. 18

Thomas has looked like one of the Kings better decision makers late in games, knowing when to look for his shot and when to set up others.

"I'm building confidence each and every game," Thomas said. "Whatever it is the team needs me to do - make shots, make plays for others, that's what I'm going to try and do. That's what I've been doing and I've been shooting the ball pretty well the last couple of games, but we still haven't won. I'm a winner and I don't like anything about losing."
